<p>Ok, sorry about the Harvard with 2.1 GPA thread. ¬¬</p>
<p>Would you please help me now?</p>
<p>What are my REAL chances at:</p>
<p>-UPitt
-PennState
-U of Minnesota
-Purdue</p>
<p>My toefl score is 104
My GPA is 18,37 / 20 - > 3,65 / 4
My SAT is 1700</p>
<p>Computer Science...</p>
<p>I am ecuadorian. Huge public school, the oldest in my country.</p>
<p>EC's:</p>
<p>National Literacy Program
Drugs prevention Program
Volunteering at an Orphanage
Volunteering at a Social Rehabilitation Center
French for 3 years
English for 6 years
Part of the Local basketball team for a year</p>
<p>All of those don't require the SAT for international students, but I am still submitting it.</p>
<p>The SAT is not required of you in Canadian Us due to your high school being in Ecuador.</p>
<p>McGill: Match (take this rating with a grain of salt; I assumed that you would get a 18.37/20 average in a Canadian high school and chanced you as such)
U Toronto: Match (I think U Toronto would favor geographical diversity when it comes to foreign students)
UBC: Match (the UBC website mentions a grade on a 10 scale, so I assume you scored, on average, 9 on the 10 scale)</p>
<p>Thanks Catria! You are really helpful… and can I ask you why do you consider Penn State a low match? I thought it was almost a reach with those scores…</p>
<p>I put PSU as a low match because you come from a country that doesn’t send students to PSU on a regular basis; schools like Penn State want as diverse a student body as possible, both geographically and racially. Plus you have a few interesting ECs also. And a 18.37/20 average isn’t 3.64, more like 3.8-3.9.</p>
<p>Try U Montreal also, since you’re considering McGill for Computer Science and speak French (a little less expensive than UBC and McGill, which both offer subpar financial aid) plus SAT score appears nowhere on the app… about as hard to get in as U Minnesota in your situation. However, if admitted and attending, you will have to take a French test.</p>
